| Many new people don't know about the wiki or how to join, so will do a copy paste from the wiki on how to join KanColle in here: Notice - All this info and more can be found on the KanColle wiki! - This guide don't cover glossary or basica game play, only how to join KanColle. - Also check the FAQ for more info! Read the whole post before starting!! Registration: Welcome. Future admirals must create an account on DMM. An English DMM account is fine, as players only need a VPN to connect to the game as well as to enter the lottery. (Proxy guide can be found further down below) Entry Lottery Currently, the entry of new admirals is limited by lottery. The time of the entrance lottery is announced on the official Twitter account and takes place almost daily. Finding Lottery Info You are looking for a message on Twitter that looks like this: 本日の新規サーバ開放、実施中です！ 開放日時：9/20(金)【12:00】※現在順次開放中です！ 着任方式：【抽選】による多段階着任方式 着任規模：新規【8,000名】規模予定 開放サーバ： 主力【ブイン基地サーバ】 支援【ショートランド泊地サーバ】 #艦これ There's only two things you care about in this message: - 9/20(金)【12:00】 The lottery will take place on September 20 at 12:00 Japan Standard Time (JST) This time is given using the 24-hour clock convention - 【8,000名】 There will be 8000 slots in the lottery If the lottery time for the day is not yet available, you will need to look for this: 次回の新規着任サーバ開放は【本日】実施予定です。 開放日時：【4/4(金曜日)】夕方以降開放開始 ※調整中 着任方式：【抽選】による多段階着任方式 開放規模：新規【約3,500名規模】 開放サーバ：【鹿屋基地サーバ】他 ※調整中 朝 = morning 昼 = afternoon 夕方 = evening 夜 = night 着任方式：抽選,by lottery / 無抽選着任モード, non-lottery/no lottery required (rare) 調整中 = Time adjustment in progress Entering the Lottery Navigate to the game website at the specified time to enter the lottery. Here are tips from the staff to ensure you have a successful lottery: - Before connecting to the site, clear your browser cache. - Set your PC timezone to JST (UTC+09:00, 5 minutes time deviation is ok). - Set your browser cache to at least 1024MB (not mandatory, but recommended). Chrome: create another shortcut to Chrome (go to the program folder) and append its "Target" path (right click > properties) with this at the end: chrome.exe" --disk-cache-size=1073741824 To verify the current disk cache size of your Chrome, go to this address: chrome://net-internals/#httpCache - Look for Max size. It should now be 1073741824. Once you reach the cat waiting screen, refresh the page every 5~10 minutes depending on what the waiting screen says. - 5分 (5 minutes); 10分 (10 minutes). If you win a spot this screen should pop up: http://i.imgur.com/50wNfNp.jpg Different screens - If you miss the lottery time this screen should be shown: http://i.imgur.com/bnuMC8m.jpg - If you entered the lottery but didn't won a spot this screen will be shown: http://i.imgur.com/BUSRU1o.jpg - Error screens: http://i.imgur.com/NXLxLQN.jpg & http://i.imgur.com/KmZZ4AL.jpg - Maintenance screen: http://i.imgur.com/qJXgUId.jpg Good guide Winning the Registration Lottery by Dragonjet, it helped me a lot so check it out! FAQ Help! I'm getting a B-001 error when attempting to register! - Use a different VPN - Clear your cache - This can also be fixed by visiting the English website without VPN, logging in there and then turning on your VPN to visit the Japanese website. This page is not available in your area. - Connect to VPN first before opening KanColle. - Refresh the page. (It's just a false error from DMM) I got (or stuck) into the lottery process, although the lottery hasn't started/has ended already. - Set your timezone to Japan/JST. When I connected to the game all the servers were full, what do I do? - You missed the lottery process. Follow the lottery process to get into the game, and if you fail, try again in another lottery. NOTE: If you receive the screen with the servers list and they appear full you may still have gotten a place click on all the servers to make sure. (You must have had entered the lottery obviously) Only servers showing "満" are actually full. What time does the Lottery start? - Check ther twitter for the exact time. Why is it so hard to get in? I have been trying for a few days! - You are competing with thousands of other users for spots, keep trying and don't give up hope. - Don't be impatient and refresh more often than recommended on the screen, as it will lower your chances. Do I have to do this every time I want to play? - No, you'll have to win the lottery only once. Proxy guide I can't really help people that use something else than windows other than quoting what the wiki said: "For Mac and other UNIX-based user, there is L2TP VPN interface that has been pre-installed in your kernel system. You can directly set it up without needed to download any clients nor using similar software to let you execute WIndows-only clients. However, in case your network is block the usage of L2TP, you will still need to download VPN clients to let you use VPN with different protocols." But for Windows using VPN Gate is the easiest way. Notice that you can close your VPN connection when you are in-game. |
